The White House has confirmed that Donald Trump, the leader of the United States, will attend the final match of the 2026 World Cup after not being present at the opening ceremony.
On 17 July 2026, Caroline Clare Levitt, the White House Press Secretary of the United States, confirmed that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, will attend the 2026 World Cup final match between Spain and Argentina after missing the opening ceremony.
Previously, Donald Trump had never attended any 2026 World Cup final matches hosted in the United States due to national obligations. This will be his first time personally attending a match, with FIFA President Gianni Infantino sitting alongside him to watch the game.
The 2026 World Cup final features Spain, the 2024 European champions nicknamed 'La Roja,' facing Argentina, the defending champions from 2022. The match will be held at MetLife Stadium on the night of 19 July 2026 (early morning of 20 July) at 2:00 a.m. Thailand time.
